This team is unreal

Offensive Line

The Bengals had a mediocre day in pass protection, posting a 58.1 pass-blocking unit grade. They allowed 14 pressures on 39 pass-blocking snaps and one sack. The group was slightly worse in run blocking with a 53.5 run-blocking grade. Tackle Jonah Williams led Cincy in snaps with 63, but he also posted the line’s worst pass-blocking grade (41.1), giving up the team’s lone sack and four QB hits.

I'm surprised, a little, but then I remember that they don't take the opponent in to account, nor can they probably know who's assignment is who's when facing a 10 man box.  That actually happened once.  

Overall, though, especially inside (did I just say that?) it looked to the first time eye that they created a pocket where Joe could step up.  The initial onslaught was overpowering at first, but they can't keep up that pace and we all saw how they wore down (the defense).

I think overall they did a very solid job protecting Joe and opening holes for the run game. 

I won't kill the offensive line when the running back is running directly in to a pile of 9 defenders.  Luckily, I only saw them do that once, not including the dumb QB sneak.  The counter play they ran later worked VERY well.  That's great to see.
